My wife has been peeking at me from around corners and behind furniture. It’s gone from weird to terrifying

I don’t know what’s going on with my wife but I’m starting to think something is seriously wrong with her. <br><br>Three nights ago, I was going to bed and I could have sworn I saw her peeking at me from behind the dresser in the hallway. I realized it was probably just my imagination playing tricks on me. I walked over to the spot I saw her and my wife was nowhere to be seen. <br><br>Then the next day, it happened again. I was making food in the kitchen and this time I saw her peeking at me from behind the fridge. Again, when I went over to the spot, she was nowhere to be seen. It made me wonder if maybe I was sleepwalking and somehow saw myself. But I know that I don’t sleepwalk. I tried to convince myself that it was probably my imagination playing tricks on me and that I was just seeing things. <br><br>Then yesterday it happened again when I was taking a piss. I literally saw her peeking at me from behind the shower curtain. At that point, I was like “fuck this shit!”. I ran over to the shower curtain but my wife was nowhere to be seen. <br><br>I decided I would just confront her about it. She had to be driving me crazy intentionally. So I went downstairs and asked her if she had been spying on me when I was alone in different parts of the house. She replied by saying “no”. I asked her again if she had been spying on me, or peeking at me from corners and from behind random objects when I was alone. This time she replied “no, I haven’t been doing that.”. I asked her one more time and she said “no, I haven’t been doing that at all”. <br><br>Then I asked her if she knew why I had been seeing her randomly peeking at me from around random corners of the house when I was alone and she replied by saying “yes!”. I was a bit shocked by how bluntly she answered. I asked her what she meant by answering that way and she said that she knew exactly why I had been seeing her. <br><br>Then she walked away and I was left wondering what the hell she meant by that. I know her answer was extremely vague as hell but I didn’t want to keep hounding her with questions so I just let it be. <br><br>Last night, I woke up to the sound of my wife laughing. I looked over at her and she was dead asleep. So I thought maybe I imagined it. But then the next morning, I woke up to the sound of her whispering. I looked over at her and she was dead asleep again. <br><br>I realized that it must have been her sleep talking that I heard. Typically, my wife never sleep talks at all. Well, at least I have never heard her sleep talk before. So I tried to ignore it and went on with my day. <br><br>Then tonight, I was laying in bed with my wife sleeping next to me. It was nighttime and the room was dark. I was just about to fall asleep when I heard another laugh. I thought it was probably my wife sleep laughing and ignored it. But then I heard my wife laughing while also seemingly talking to someone. It sounded like she was saying “you’re right” and “ok”. But I still thought she was just sleep talking/laughing. <br><br>But then I heard a voice whisper from the other side of the bed, right next to her. It was a man’s voice. I couldn’t make out what the man was saying, but it sounded like he was talking to my wife. I freaked out and grabbed my wife and started shaking her awake. She woke up screaming and asked me what was going on. I told her that I heard a voice that sounded like a random guy whispering to her. <br><br>She had a confused expression on her face. Then she shook her head and said “nothing’s going on” in a very robotic voice while still having that same confused expression on her face. Then she went back to sleep. I was just sitting there like “the hell?”. I didn’t bother trying to wake her up again. <br><br>I lay in bed for the rest of the night until I got tired and fell asleep myself. <br><br>When I woke up, my wife was gone. I assumed she wasn’t feeling good and was probably just sleeping in. Then I went to work. <br><br>When I got home from work, I was shocked to find my wife’s car parked in the driveway. I thought to myself “well then where the hell is she?”. When I walked inside, I couldn’t find her anywhere. I thought to myself “well maybe she went to the store or something and just parked her car in the driveway and left with someone else”. <br><br>But I knew that my wife doesn’t do shit like that. I know her habits and daily routines like the back of my hand. She always keeps a routine. No exceptions. And it’s always in a specific order. <br><br>So I started looking all over the house for her. I looked in every room on every floor and even checked outside in the backyard. But she was nowhere to be found. I started to get a little worried. So I called her phone. I heard her phone ring from the kitchen, so I went over to the kitchen table and picked it up. <br><br>I have no clue where she could have been at that moment in time. I know she had work but it was pretty clear to me she wasn’t going at this point. I continued to look all over the house for her and even looked in the attic, garage, and basement. But she was literally nowhere to be found. <br><br>Then I thought to myself “fuck it! I’m gonna go check the neighborhood”. I walked outside and looked up and down both sides of the street to see if I saw her walking around. But she was nowhere to be seen. I even circled around the block a few times looking for her but she was still nowhere to be seen. <br><br>So I gave up and went back inside the house. I was going crazy. I know that there had to be an explanation as to where she was. I knew that she couldn’t just *poof* disappear into thin air. So I decided to just wait and see if she comes home. <br><br>Then after about an hour of waiting, I saw her car door open and shut. So I knew she was back. Then I heard the front door open and shut. I didn’t even care at that point. I was just so damn relieved to see her. <br><br>Then almost like clockwork, she came walking through the doorway with a smile on her face. But as soon as she saw me, she stopped in her tracks. She looked at me with a confused expression on her face and asked “what?”. I was like “what do you mean what?”. She replied by saying “you look like you’ve seen a ghost”. <br><br>I was like “well shit! Where the hell were you at?”. Then she looked at me with a pissed off expression on her face. She told me that she was at work. I was like “bullshit! I looked all over the house and even checked the street and the neighborhood for you! I couldn’t find you anywhere!”. <br><br>She told me that she was indeed at work and that I must have just missed her when I was looking. I was like “there’s no way in hell I missed her! I looked everywhere!”. Then she told me that I must have been sleepwalking when I was looking for her. I was like “nope! I know I was awake!”. <br><br>Then she started walking away. I asked her one more time “where were you really?”. She replied by saying “I told you. I was at work.”. I was like “no you weren’t!”. She kept on walking away and said “I’m gonna go take a bath”. I asked her one more time “were you high or something?”. <br><br>Then she stopped in her tracks and turned around. She walked over to me and slapped me in the face as hard as she could. I was almost stunned. I don’t know where she got that much energy from but that shit hurt like hell. <br><br>Then she started yelling at me. She told me that I shouldn’t accuse her of doing things that she doesn’t do. I was like “well then explain to me where the hell you were!”. She kept on yelling at me and berating me. <br><br>Then she told me that if I ever accused her of something she didn’t do again, then she would leave me. I was like “fine! But only if you stop peeking at me from around corners and behind random objects when I’m alone!”. She told me that she didn’t know what I was talking about. <br><br>I asked her “well then why did you say that you knew exactly why I saw you peeking at me?”. She told me that she was just trying to get me to leave her alone. <br><br>Then she went silent for a moment and then asked me “you know what? I don’t like the sound of your tone. So I’m going to go take a bath.”. Then she just turned around and walked away. <br><br>I stood there silent. I knew that I probably shouldn’t have accused her of lying but I was just so fed up with not knowing what the hell was going on. <br><br>The rest of the day, my wife kept to herself. I knew I probably pissed her off bad. I don’t even think she was mad at me. I think she was just pissed off at me because she knew I didn’t believe her. <br><br>A few hours later, she went to sleep. I was still awake and I decided to get some food. When I walked into the kitchen, I saw her standing over by the
